Anastasia Beverly Hills : Dip Brow Pomade.

I purchased this recently off Beauty Bliss.

I was a little hesitant to use this product at first because i have always used a brow powder to do my brows. Pomade just seemed so daunting almost like I was using a black vivid to line my brows.

The product has lovely packaging, glass container with a solid plastic lid that screws on tightly.

The consistency of the pomade was initially quite hard until I had used it a few times and then the product became smooth and creamy. The pomade is super smooth and creamy to apply and much to my surprise easy to remove if you make a mistake.

I purchased the shade dark brown and was slightly worried it was too dark for me at first but i guess pomade is always going to appear darker on compared to a powder. This product is my current favourite in my make up bag.

ZOEVA : Brow liner brush.

Is my absolute favourite brush when it comes to brows. It provides a easy defined line for the perfect brows everyone is after. First off I didn't like the thin fine liner aspect of the brush I found it hard to use and hard to fill in my brows.

The brush is slim and angled making precise brows easier then ever. The colour of the brush is a peachy pink with a rose golden tip. Best accessory for the make up table also.

Morphe 12S Eyeshadow palette.

The size of this palette is the perfect size for the make up bag or on the go. The shadows in this palette are amazing, super pigmented and long lasting. The neutral peach shades are perfect for any make up look. The shimmer shades are easily built up making a sparkle shadow look.

I'm currently switching from this palette and the Morphe 35O for my everyday look !! 5/5

The bright shades in this pallete are stunning and perfect for thid time of year.

How I Clean My Make Up Brushes

beauty Thursday, June 16, 2016

Cleaning my make up brushes is definitely one of those mundane tasks that i have to carry out. When applying make up especially foundation to your skin you are gathering old dead skin cells and bacteria from the surface of your skin, once foundation is applied, leaving your brush to sit in it's holder lets that bacteria gathered to fester within the brush. (Gross right ?) Until next time you use it. The next time the same thing happens, expect the amount of bacteria will have only grown ! (double gross!!!) Now all of the bacteria is being lathered onto your skin, which i assure you will only cause you to break out in spots. Spot cleaning just isn't going to cut it ! One spritz isn't enough to destroy that nasty bacteria invading the bristles of your favourite brush!

SO, Heres my step by step to super clean bacteria free brushes.
Simple things you will need
- x 1 Block Soap.
- x 2 Hand towels.
- x 1 Sink near by.

STEP BY STEP

1. Lay out all the brushes onto a hand towel.
2. Run the tap using warm water, wet your brush.
3 Using circular motions, swirl your brush a few times on the block of soap. (Make sure to not gather too much soap)
4. Using the same circular motion swirl the soapy brush around your hand running it under the running tap a few times.
5. Squeezing the bristles of the brush firmly to remove soap and the left over product out.
6. Now rinse the brush using the swirl motion on your hand, making sure you move the brush in and out of the water making sure all remains of soap and bacteria have been removed.
7. Now place the brush on a clean hand towel laying flat to dry.
(Never blow dry your brushes as the heat can ruin the bristles and cause them to fall out, and we don't want to ruin our brushes now do we)
8. Continue this process with all brushes until finished.
9. Making sure all brushes aren't soaking wet. Lay them out on the clean hand towel leave to dry somewhere with a fresh breeze so the dry faster. (usually left over night)
